When all you know is what you were taught by parents and friends that are ignorant to the world, you grow up to be a man like Riley Pranger, a passive racist and chauvinistic. But Riley is going to get a fast re-education when a single black mother rents his home for the summer and he has no choice but to recognize the actions of the people around him. 

Stella Burton is a no nonsense, 6-foot tall curvaceous black woman who has no problem with hurting a man’s ego. She is opinionated, specifically about a country where she has been single handedly raising her multi-racial son to be a well-rounded black man. 

What happens when white privilege is suddenly challenged? When races clash and you mess with the wrong black woman? This novella contains twists and turns and sexiness as well as appearances from Lt. Christopher Jameson, Ashleigh and their children from the novel Beast, Bodie and Shaundea Matthews from A Wrong Turn Towards Love and True from True’s love. 

Warning: This story includes sexual situations, graphic and strong racist and homophobic language. This story discusses American politics and race relations in a fictional setting.

The Miseducation of Riley Pranger

"Well it‘s true. And I wanted to come up here and tell you that I‘m sorry for accusing you of having anything to do with it just because your last names Pranger. I shouldn‘t have fired you Riley and I‘m man enough to admit that. If you want your job back, it‘s all yours. And I hope you‘ll accept my apology." Bodie held out his hand for Riley to shake.


Riley worked his tongue around his gum and then gathered up enough spit to let go a wad a Bodie‘s feet. 


"I‘m sorry too," Riley said. "For what I said about your family. It‘s not their fault that they got a fool for a man and a daddy. You can take your job and shove it up your racist ass."


Riley turned and stalked back to the cottage, slamming the door after him. Stella had been on her laptop and she jumped to her feet and hurried to Riley.


"What‘s wrong? What happened?" She heard Bodie‘s truck start and burn rubber as it pulled out of the drive-way and back down the hill.
